As mentioned yesterday, the recent liturgical conference in the South of Ireland included Mass in the usus antiquior in Cobh Cathedral at the high altar.

The cathedral church itself was designed by the son of A.W.N. Pugin, Edward Welby Pugin, and interestingly, the vestments used for the Mass were also designed by E.W. Pugin -- having been borrowed from the church of Ss. Peter and Paul in Cork.

Here are a few photos which were sent into the NLM. (Sadly, they are rather blurry, not being professional, but they will at least lend a sense of the liturgical occasion. If the NLM comes across more, we will publish them as well.)
